# CITY OF PALM DESERT 73-510 FRED WARING DRIVE PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA 92260-2578 TEL: 760 346-0611 INFO@PALM-DESERT.ORG January 30, 2026 Residents of Palm Desert, Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council The Finance Department is pleased to present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Palm Desert for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects and is presented in a manner that fairly represents the financial position and changes in financial position of the City as measured by the financial activity of each of its funds. We also believe that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to fully understand the City's financial activities have been presented. Responsibility for the accuracy, completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report rests with the City. The City of Palm Desert conducts an annual audit, which is performed by an independent certified public accountant. The independent audit of the City's financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, was conducted by LSL, LLP. The auditor's unmodified opinion on the basic financial statements is included in the Financial Section of this report. This is the most favorable opinion. As part of the City's annual audit engagement, the auditors reviewed the City's internal control structure as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance, that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. The results of the City's annual audit for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, provided no instances of material weaknesses in connection with the internal control structure or significant violations of applicable laws and regulations. As recipients of federal, state and county financial resources, the City may be required to undergo an annual single audit. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City will have a single audit performed. Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor's report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. ## PROFILE OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT Located in Riverside County in the geographical center of the Coachella Valley, Palm Desert was incorporated on November 26, 1973, as a General Law City. On November 4, 1997, voters overwhelmingly approved Measure LL adopting a city charter. ===== PAGE 11 ===== Under the provisions of the charter, the City of Palm Desert has full authority over its own municipal affairs including: bidding and contracting procedures; regulation of parks, libraries, and other facilities; certain fees; imposition of taxes; municipal zoning; salaries of officials and employees; municipal utilities; and municipal election procedures. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The City Council is comprised of five members elected to four-year terms every two years by the residents of the City. On January 25, 2024 the Palm Desert City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1406 establishing five single-member council districts. The transition to single-member council districts, from the two previously, will be complete following the November 2026 election for two members of City Council representing Districts 4 and 5. Each December, the City Council selects the Mayor from among its members for a one-year term. The City Council appoints the City Manager and the City Attorney. The City operates as a “contract city,” primarily utilizing agreements with other governmental entities, private firms, and individuals to provide many services. Contracted services include: police protection through the County of Riverside; fire protection through Cal-Fire; animal control; road maintenance and construction services; legal services; landscape maintenance; and recreation program services. Palm Desert is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority that provides insurance coverage for the City. Water, sewage treatment and wastewater disposal are provided by the Coachella Valley Water District. Southern California Gas Company supplies natural gas to the City and electric power is provided by the Southern California Edison Company. Waste Disposal is provided by Burrtec Waste & Recycling Services. Telephone/Internet service is available through Frontier Communications. Cable television/Internet service is provided by Time Warner Cable/Spectrum. The City provides traditional municipal, public enterprise, and housing services as follows: ## Municipal Services Public improvements, infrastructure and maintenance Public art and community promotion Planning, zoning, building and engineering Housing and community development Code compliance Economic development and business advocacy Legislative, city clerk, visitor's services, public information, general administration, fiscal services, human resources, and risk management Building permitting, inspections and library services

Activities of the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Project Funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. Budgetary amounts for Debt Service, Capital Projects, and certain Special Revenue Funds are adopted annually; however, these budgets are considered to be long-term in nature. ===== PAGE 12 ===== The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system of purchase orders and contracts at the fund level as a means of accomplishing budgetary control. At each fiscal year end, open encumbrances are carried over to the new fiscal year. Purchase orders are reviewed to ensure that funds are available and that requests are properly authorized prior to being released to vendors. The adopted budget for fiscal year 2024-25 was prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As reflected in the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the City continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management. ## LOCAL ECONOMY The City comprises an area of approximately 26 square miles and, as of January 1, 2025, has a population of 51,980 according to data provided by the California Department of Finance. In addition to permanent residents, approximately 20,000 seasonal residents make Palm Desert their home for three to six months each year. The City has cultivated a sound foundation of general fund revenues including sales tax, transient occupancy tax, licenses and permits, property tax, and investment earnings. The City's main revenue sources are transient occupancy taxes and sales tax. Due to the timing of the City's incorporation, in 1973, and the implementation of Proposition 13, the City receives less than 7 percent of property taxes; therefore, the City relies heavily on sales tax and transient occupancy tax. As a community where economic, environmental, social, and cultural development flourishes, Palm Desert is a much sought-after place to visit and reside. Palm Desert is the first city in Riverside County to create a public art program and is home to numerous cultural attractions including: the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts, a 1,127-seat theater that hosts a wide variety of A-list entertainers, touring theatrical productions and arts-related educational programs; the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, a 1,200-acre facility containing a wide array of plants and animals from desert regions around the world; and the Palm Desert Art in Public Places program, a museum without walls, featuring more than 150 works of art on permanent display throughout the city. Palm Desert's active, five-star accredited Chamber of Commerce has more than 1,125 members who work to promote, support, and enhance business prosperity, civic vitality, and the quality of life within their community. Noted for its extensive array of retail options, including the world-famous upscale shopping destination of El Paseo, Palm Desert is home to a variety of malls and retail centers including The Shops at Palm Desert, Desert Crossing, The Gardens on El Paseo, and El Paseo Village. The internationally acclaimed Desert Willow Golf Resort, one of the nation's premier municipal courses, boasts 36 holes of championship golf and stunning scenery in close proximity to first-class hotel accommodations and fine dining. And in 2024, ground was broken for development to build a five-and-a-half-acre Wavegarden Cove, DSRT Surf, which will make it the largest of its kind in the United States. In addition to being the home of the Coachella Valley's only community college, College of the Desert, Palm Desert is the location of satellite campuses for both the University of California, Riverside, and California State University, San Bernardino, the region's only public, four-year university.

Desert Willow Golf Resort The State of California Employment Development Department Labor Market Information Division reported that the City of Palm Desert had an unemployment rate of 6.8% ===== PAGE 13 ===== compared to Riverside County, which had a rate of 6.0%. Worldwide issues such as inflation and supply-chain constraints presented a new set of challenges over the course of the fiscal year, and the City continues to face such challenges through the same lens of fiscal responsibility and sound financial practices that have proven successful in the past. Despite such challenges, the City of Palm Desert continued to provide exceptional services and amenities to residents throughout the course of the year. ## LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING In June 2025, the City Council approved a total of $67.11 million in funding for various capital improvement projects for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Projects include resurfacing streets, median landscaping, sidewalk repairs and construction, accessibility improvements, street widening, improving drainage areas, park improvements, and construction for Fire Station 102 and the City's new Library facility. ## CERTIFICATES OF AWARDS FOR OUTSTANDING FINANCIAL REPORTING The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Palm Desert for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This was the 27th consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious award. To receive the Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual comprehensive financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current annual comprehensive financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. ## ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The preparation of this report is attributable to the efficient and dedicated staff of the Finance Department who are individually recognized on the title page. The Mayor and the City Council are credited for their support in planning and conducting the operations of the City in a prudent, responsible and progressive manner. Recognition is also given to all employees of the City of Palm Desert who continue to serve our community with commitment and dedication throughout the year. Our greatest appreciation goes to you, the residents of Palm Desert, for your continued support, input, and guidance in helping us serve you better, thus preserving our city's quality of life and reputation for innovation and leadership.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ## BASIS FOR OPINIONS We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. ## RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. ===== PAGE 22 ===== ## AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. ## REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and required pension and other post-employment benefits schedules as listed on the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. ===== PAGE 23 ===== ## SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules (supplementary information) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. ## OTHER INFORMATION Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. ## OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 30, 2026, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. LSL, LLP Irvine, California January 30, 2026 ===== PAGE 24 ===== ## UNIDALDESERT This page intentionally left blank ===== PAGE 25 ===== # MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) Financial Highlights for Year Ended June 30, 2025 ===== PAGE 26 ===== # CITY OF PALM DESERT # MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of the City of Palm Desert's financial performance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, provides: a comparison of current year to prior year ending results based on the government-wide financial statements; an analysis of the City's overall financial position and results of operations to assist users in evaluating the City's financial position; a discussion of significant changes that occurred in the funds; and significant budget variances. In addition, it describes the activities during the year for capital assets and long-term debt. We end our discussion and analysis with a description of known facts, decisions, and conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations. Please read it in conjunction with the transmittal letter and the City's financial statements. ## FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - The City's total assets and deferred outflows exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows by $835.62 million (net position). - The City's governmental activities net position increased by $12.40 million, and the net position of the business-type activities decreased by $1.77 million. During the year, the City's revenues were $154.53 million and expenses were $142.13 million in its governmental activities, compared to fiscal year 2024, where revenues were $155.47 million and expenses were $167.64 million. - In the City's business-type activities, expenses were $16.17 million, $1.84 million more than the $14.33 million in prior year expenses. Revenues generated from golf course green fees, merchandise sales, rental income and other revenues increased by $433.19 thousand compared to prior year, and Parkview Office Complex revenues for business-type activities revenues increased $105.06 thousand from prior year. - The City's governmental activities program revenues and general revenues decreased by $0.94 million, while program expenses decreased by $25.51 million. - The City kept its General Fund expenditures within spending limits by $9.69 million. The revenues and transfers available for expenditures exceeded budget by $7.60 million. ## USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities (on pages 39, 40, 41 and 42) provide information about the activities of the City as a whole and present a long-term view of the City's finances. The fund financial statements start on page 43. For governmental activities, these fund statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. The fund financial statements also report the City's operation in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the City's most significant funds and other funds. The remaining fiduciary fund statement provides financial information about activities for which the City acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of those outside of the government. ===== PAGE 27 ===== # REPORTING THE CITY AS A WHOLE ## The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities: Our analysis of the City as a whole begins on page 40. One of the most important questions asked about the City's finances is, "Is the City as a whole better off or worse off as a result of the year's activities?" The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a way that answers this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. These two statements report the City's net position and changes in them. Net position is the difference between total assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows, which is one way to measure the City's financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City's net position are an indication of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. Other non-financial factors should be considered, however, such as changes in the economy that could cause a decrease in consumer spending. ## In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, we separate City activities as follows: Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category, including general administration (city manager, city clerk, finance, etc.), housing and redevelopment, public safety (police and fire protection), public works, parks, recreation and culture departments. Property taxes, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, user fees, interest income, franchise fees, state and federal grants, contributions from other agencies, and other revenues finance these activities. Business-type activities – The City charges customers to cover all or most of the cost of certain services it provides. The City's municipal golf course, Desert Willow, and the City's Parkview Office Complex activities are reported in this category. Component unit activities – The City includes one separate legal entity in its report – the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation. Although legally separate, this “component unit” is important because the City is financially accountable for it. ## REPORTING THE CITY'S MOST SIGNIFICANT FUNDS ## Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds and other funds, not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. However, management established many other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other resources. The City has three types of funds: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows in and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The differences of results in the Governmental Fund financial statements to those in the Government-wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation following each Governmental Fund financial statement. ===== PAGE 28 ===== Proprietary funds – When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. The City's enterprise funds are the same as the business-type activities we report in the government-wide statements, but provide more detail and information such as a statement of cash flows. Fiduciary funds — Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Palm Desert operations. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. ## THE CITY AS TRUSTEE ## Reporting the City's Fiduciary Responsibilities: The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency's (Successor Agency) private-purpose trust fund and for certain custodial funds held on behalf of developers and its employees' retiree service stipend fund. The City's fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Position, Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position, Combining Statement of Statement of Assets and Liabilities-All Custodial Funds, and Combining Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position-All Custodial Funds. We exclude these activities from the City's other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. ## THE CITY AS A WHOLE During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the City's combined net position increased $10.62 million from $825.01 million to $835.62 million. A separate review of the net change in the governmental and business-type activities is provided for the reader. Our analysis focuses on the net position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) of the City's governmental and business-type activities. ===== PAGE 29 ===== ## TABLE 1 ## NET POSITION (IN MILLIONS) ## As of June 30, 2025 and 2024

The City’s governmental activities net position increased $12.40 million. The City’s net position is made up of three components: Net investment in capital assets; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position. For governmental activities, unrestricted net position, which represents the part of net position that can be used to finance day-to-day operations, accounted for 19 percent of the overall total net position. Unrestricted net position decreased $14.85 million from $155.76 million in 2024 to $140.91 million in 2025, and restricted net position increased from $175.95 million to $189.10 million, an increase of $13.15 million. The increase in unrestricted net position was primarily driven by increases in sales tax revenues and reductions in program expenses across all government activities. Total charges for services increased from $39.35 million in 2024 compared to $41.93 million in 2025, an increase of $2.58 million; and transient occupancy tax increased from $23.02 million in 2024 to $23.88 million in 2025, representing an increase of $861.33 thousand. Investment earnings saw a decrease of $1.40 million from 2024 to 2025 as interest rates remained elevated throughout the year with a slight downward trend toward the end of fiscal year 2025. The increase of $13.15 million in restricted net position was due to restricted special projects decreasing by $17.54 million from the prior year, while restricted capital projects funds increased by $30.69 million. During the year, construction on major projects continued; including work on Fire Station 102, and the City's new Library facility, in addition to continuation of the annual street resurfacing program, and the Walk n Roll PD construction. Investment in capital assets in governmental activities increased by $14.10 million, slightly over 6 percent of the total balance. The City's governmental activities total assets and deferred outflow of resources combined decreased $2.82 million from $849.56 million in 2024 to $846.74 million in 2025. The primary increases to total assets during the fiscal year over prior year were in the City's Capital Assets which increased by $4.91 million over prior year, which was offset by a reduction of restricted cash balances with a fiscal agent from prior year of $8.95 million. Total governmental activities liabilities and deferred inflows combined decreased by $15.21 million from $104.06 million in 2024 to $88.85 million in 2025. A decrease of $14.93 million in total liabilities for the fiscal year was mainly attributable to a pension liability decrease of $1.85 million, accounts payable decrease of $10.80 million, and decrease of $1.98 million in bonds, notes, lease, SBITA, claims and compensated absences liabilities. The net position of the business-type activities recognized a decrease of $1.77 million, from $79.51 million during 2024 to $77.73 million during 2025. Total assets in the business-type activities increased by $700 thousand from $87.16 million in 2024 to $87.86 million in 2025. ===== PAGE 31 ===== ## TABLE 2 ## CHANGES IN NET POSITION (IN MILLIONS) ## As of June 30, 2025 and 2024

## Governmental Activities The beginning balance of net position was restated due to an error corrections related to fiscal year 2024 construction in progress and accrued interest. See Note 18 in the notes to the basic financial statements for further information. Total revenue decreased by $0.94 million from $155.47 million to $154.53 million. Factors that contributed to the changes in revenues are as follows: • Transient occupancy tax increased from $23.02 million in 2024 to $23.88 million in 2025, a slight increase of $861.33 thousand. - The City's sales tax increased by $5.99 million from $25.39 million in 2024 to $31.38 million in 2025. The increase showing some early revenue growth from the sales tax measure passed by voters in November, 2024 and that went into effect in April, 2025. In 2025, the City's investment earnings saw a decrease of $1.40 million from prior year, reflecting a less favorable interest rate environment from prior year as rates stabilized and began to ease from the elevated levels that drove strong earnings in prior year. The City continued to utilize multiple investment vehicles throughout the year, taking advantage of high interest rates available in short-term investment pools such as the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP), along with the reinvestment of maturing investments into long-term investment products. • Charges for services grew by $2.58 million from $39.35 million in 2024 to $41.93 million in 2025. - Operating contributions and grants recognized an increase of $526.15 thousand, while Capital contributions and grants decreased by $12.60 million, from $17.31 million in 2024 to $4.71 million in 2025. This decrease was largely due to Capital Contributions and Grants received in the prior year for Housing and Redevelopment and Library functions not received in this fiscal year. ===== PAGE 33 ===== Total governmental expenses increased from $167.64 million in 2024 to $142.13 million in 2025, a decrease of $25.51 million. Factors that contributed to the changes in expenses are as follows: - Expenses in housing and redevelopment decreased from $27.87 million in 2024 to $9.72 million in 2025, a decrease of $18.15 million. Public safety expenses increased by $3.4 million, from $43.64 million in 2024 to $47.04 million in 2025, mainly related to increases in costs for contracted police and fire protection services. Parks, recreation, and culture saw a decrease in expenses of $3.45 million, from $20.32 million in 2024 to $16.87 million in 2025.

## Business-type Activities In the business-type activities, total revenues increased by 2.35 percent from $14.06 million to $14.39 million, a $330 thousand increase. The main factor for the change in total revenues was the decrease in Capital Contributions and Grants revenues and increase in charges for services compared to prior year. The Parkview Office Complex revenues increased slightly from $1.22 million in 2024 to $1.33 million in 2025 due to annual lease adjustments. ===== PAGE 34 ===== Operating expenses for business-type activities increased by $1.84 million from $14.33 million to $16.17 million. The majority of the increase is related to the increase in maintenance and operations costs for the Parkview Office Complex of $1.99 million compared to prior year. ## THE CITY'S FUNDS On page 43, the governmental funds balance sheet is shown. The combined fund balance of $350.73 million increased $4.43 million from $346.30 million. This total includes the General Fund fund balance of $120.71 million, which decreased by $5.65 million from the prior year. The City's General Fund fund balance has a non-spendable balance of $2.67 million, committed balance of $63.32 million, assigned balance of $18.34 million, and $36.38 million of unassigned fund balance. The increase in the General Fund's fund balance was due to increases in sales tax and cash and investments balances coupled with reductions in accounts payable liabilities from prior year. Other major fund balance changes are noted below: - The Prop A Fire Tax Special Revenue Fund: The fund balance increased by $4.88 million. - The Housing Asset Fund: The fund had an increase of $1.83 million, mainly due to increases in its Loan asset balances during the fiscal year. • The Housing Authority Fund: The fund balance had a slight increase of $1.27 million. • Restricted Capital Project Fund: The fund balance decreased $3.15 million from $47.23 million in 2024 to $44.36 million in 2025. • The remaining increase of $4.97 million is spread across multiple non-major funds. More detailed information about the combined fund balance reserves is presented in Note 16 to the financial statements. ## General Fund Budgetary Highlights Based upon recommendations from the staff, the City Council revised the budget several times during the year. Adjustments were made on a monthly basis as City staff requested additional appropriations to cover the cost of projects that either had change orders for additional work, or were underestimated. At mid-year, some adjustments were also requested to better meet departmental demands and adjust for any revenue fluctuations. At year-end, budgets were adjusted for unanticipated approved expenditures. All amendments that either increase or decrease appropriations are approved by the City Council. For the City's General Fund, the actual ending revenues of $96.80 million were $7.61 million more than the final budgeted revenues of $89.19 million. Sales and transient occupancy taxes continue to be the top two revenue generators for the City, totaling $55.26 million or 57.09 percent of the total General Fund actual revenues. The original budgeted taxes was $72.47 million compared to the final budget of $76.03 million, an increase of $3.56 million. The City increase in the final budget was related to better-than-expected increases in sales tax revenues from the passing of Measure G. The General Fund actual ending expenditures of $102.20 million were $9.70 million less than the final budget of $111.90 million. There were changes in the original budget compared to the final budget during the year. The original expenditure budget was $83.06 million compared to the final budget of $111.90 million, a $28.84 million increase. During the year, the following represent the major changes between the original budget and the final budget: the City Clerk, Legal, Finance, Information Technology, Capital Projects, Traffic Safety, and Street Maintenance budgets were increased to accommodate new staff and expanded city services. The budget for transfers out was also increased by $19.86 million. These transfers were mainly to capital project funds to cover upcoming projects. ===== PAGE 35 ===== ## CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION ## Capital Assets At the end of 2025, the City had $496.56 million invested in a broad range of capital assets including land, streets, bridges, drainage systems, traffic lights, parks, buildings, artwork, vehicles, golf courses and equipment (See Table 3). This amount represents a net increase (including additions and deductions) of $3.19 million over the prior year restated balance, due mainly to construction in progress additions.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds:$ 4,152,512
Governmental funds report capital outlays are expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation/amortization expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation/amortization expense in the current period.
Capital outlay$ 16,450,140

Bond and other debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Repayment of bond and other debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities.

===== PAGE 57 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ### A. Description of The Reporting Entity The City of Palm Desert was originally incorporated on November 26, 1973, as a General Law City. In December 1997, Measure LL was enacted following a vote by Palm Desert residents, which adopted a City Charter. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety (police and fire), highways and streets, public improvements, community development (planning, building and zoning) and general administrative services. The City has defined its reporting entity in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which provides guidance for determining which governmental activities, organizations and functions should be included in the reporting entity. The Basic Financial Statements present information on the activities of the reporting entity, which include the City of Palm Desert (the primary government) and its component units, entities for which the government is considered financially accountable. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the component units be separated into blended or discretely presented units for reporting purposes. The following criteria were used in determination of blended component units: appointment of the governing board and fiscal dependence. Although legally separate entities, blended component units are, in substance, part of the City's operations. Therefore, they are reported as part of the primary government. Discretely presented component units are reported in a separate column in the basic financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the City. ## Blended Component Units Following are descriptions of legally separate component units for which the City is financially accountable that are blended with the Primary Government. The governing bodies of these component units are substantially the same with operational responsibility as the City and provides a financial benefit. The Palm Desert Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was established by the City Council in January 1998, and is responsible for the administration of providing affordable housing in the City. The Housing Authority transactions are reported in the governmental funds balance sheet as a major fund. The Palm Desert Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was formed on January 26, 1989. The purpose of the Financing Authority is to issue debt and loan the proceeds to the City and Agency. The Financing Authority's capital related transactions are reported in the governmental fund financial statements in the capital projects funds, and the collection of assessments and payments of debt service is recorded in the fiduciary funds. The City Council of Palm Desert is the governing body for the Housing Authority and Financing Authority. Separate financial statements are not issued for the Housing Authority and Financing Authority. ## Discretely Presented Component Unit The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation (Corporation) was incorporated on February 25, 1997. The purpose of the Corporation is to lease, operate and manage a restaurant and bar in the Desert Willow Golf Course in Palm Desert, California. The Board of Directors of the Corporation appoints an executive director to administer operations. The Corporation is in a separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City and is financially accountable to the City. The two-member board governing the Corporation is appointed by the City Council, the City has authority to approve the Corporation's budget, and the City must approve any debt issued. Complete financial statements of the Corporation can be obtained from the City's administrative offices. ===== PAGE 58 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ### B. Basis of Presentation ## Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct and indirect expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Expenses reported for functional activities include allocated indirect expenses. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. ## Fund Financial Statements The accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that constitute its assets, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operation fund of the City or meets the following criteria: a. Total assets plus deferred outflows of resources, liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10% of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and; b. Total assets plus deferred outflows of resources, liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or enterprise fund are at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined; and; c. The government has determined that a fund is important to the financial statement user. The funds of the financial reporting entity are described below: ## Governmental Fund Types General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue resources (other than major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. ===== PAGE 59 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term obligation principal, interest and related costs. ## Proprietary Fund Types Enterprise Funds - The Enterprise Funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the City Council is that the costs (expenses including depreciation) of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. The Primary Government's Enterprise funds consist of the Parkview Office Complex and the Desert Willow Golf Course. Desert Willow Golf Course is operated by a management company. The discretely presented Component Unit's fund consists of the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation, also operated by a management company. Internal Service Funds - The Internal Service Funds account for financial transactions related to replacement of City-owned vehicles and equipment and to fund compensated absences. These services are provided to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. ## Fiduciary Fund Types ## Private-Purpose Trust Fund The Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund is used to account for the activities of the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency. ## Custodial Funds The Custodial, Special Assessment and Treasurers 1911 Bond Act Funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a custodial capacity as a trustee. These assets include deposits placed with the City by individuals, as well as deposits from assessment district's property owners. These deposits are reduced by payments to individuals. The City's Retiree Service Stipend Fund is used to account for assets held to pay for the retiree service stipend. The Treasures 1991 Bond Act Fund is used to account for assets held for the Bond Act. The major funds are as follows: ## Governmental Funds The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Prop A Fire Tax Special Revenue Fund is used to account for all revenues derived from tax collected within the City for upgrading fire protection and prevention. Its use is restricted to obtaining, furnishing, operating and maintaining fire protection and prevention services (currently under contract with Riverside County Fire Department) equipment or apparatus. This fund is reported as a major fund because the tax collected is a voter approved measure. The Housing Asset Special Revenue Fund is used to account for any funds generated from housing assets of the former Redevelopment Agency to be used for projects that benefit low and moderate income families. ===== PAGE 60 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures related to rental units owned by the Housing Authority, established in January 1998. This fund is determined to be important to the users of the financial statements and determined to be a major fund. The Restricted Capital Project Fund is used to account for the cost of city owned properties that will either be sold or for the construction of public facilities, and the proceeds of bond funds for capital related properties. ## Proprietary Fund The Parkview Office Complex Fund is used to account for rent received from the City owned office complex. The Desert Willow Golf Course Fund is used to account for the fees collected and expenses incurred in connection with operating the municipal golf course in the City of Palm Desert. ### C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied. On the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-like activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. The accounting objectives of the economic measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net position (or cost recovery), financial position and cash flows. All assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported. In the fund financial statements, the “current financial resources” measurement focus or the “economic resources” measurement focus is used as appropriate: 1. All governmental funds utilize a “current financial resources” measurement focus. Only current financial assets, deferred outflows of resources, current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period. 2. The proprietary fund and private purpose trust fund and custodial funds utilize an “economic resources” measurement focus. Proprietary fund and private purpose trust fund equity and custodial funds are classified as net position. ## Basis of Accounting In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-like activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when “measurable and available.” Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the amount. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. ===== PAGE 61 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes and special assessments that are levied for and due for the fiscal year and collected within 60 days after year-end. Licenses, permits, fines, forfeits, charges for services and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as governmental fund type revenues when received in cash because they are not generally measurable until actually received. Revenue from taxpayer assessed taxes, such as sales taxes, are recognized in the accounting period in which they became both measurable and available to pay liabilities of the current period. Grants and similar items are recognized as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Interfund activity has been eliminated from the general government function for the government-wide financial statements except for charges between the government's Desert Willow Golf Course and Parkview Office Complex funds and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues for the various functions considered. The accrual basis of accounting is followed by the proprietary fund and private purpose trust fund. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, or economic assets are used. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal revenue of the Desert Willow Golf Course and Parkview Office Complex Enterprise Funds are charges to customers for use of the golf course and rental fees. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. ### D. Appropriations Limit Under Article XIII-B of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from the proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller or returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates, revised fee schedules or other refund arrangements. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, proceeds of taxes did not exceed appropriations. ### E. Cash and Investments For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City has defined cash and investments to include cash on hand, demand deposits, investments held in various instruments, and investments held in the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), California Asset Management Program (CAMP) and Riverside County Treasurer's Pooled Investment Fund. ### F. Investments Investments are reported in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments. ===== PAGE 62 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ### G. Property Held for Resale The land held for resale is recorded in the Housing Asset Fund as property held for resale at the lower of cost or market. At June 30, 2025, the cost of the property held for resale for various housing properties in Palm Desert totaled $61,516. ### H. Capital Assets and Depreciation Capital assets, which include property, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, traffic signals, drainage systems and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial cost above the amounts described in the table below and an estimated life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. The City has reported general infrastructure assets acquired in prior and current years. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Capital assets of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Asset TypeCapitalization ThresholdUseful LifeSubject to Depreciation?
Land$ -InfiniteNo
Buildings$ 100,00020-50 YearsYes

### I. Inventories, Prepaid Costs and Deposits Inventory in the amount of $352,900 and $55,502, for the Desert Willow Golf Course Enterprise Fund (Primary Government) and Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation (Component Unit), respectively, are reported at lower of cost or market. These inventories are held for resale. Inventory in the amount of $14,825 in the Governmental Funds are also reported at lower cost or market. Inventory and prepaid costs are recorded as an expenditure when consumed rather than purchased. Certain payments to vendors that reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid costs in the government-wide and fund financial statements. ===== PAGE 63 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ### J. Property Tax Calendar Property taxes are assessed and collected each fiscal year according to the following property tax calendar:
Lien date:January 1
Levy date:July 1 to June 30
Due date:November 1 - 1st Installment
March 1 - 2nd Installment
Delinquent date:December 10 - 1st Installment
April 10 - 2nd Installment
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas prescribed by state statutes. The City accrues only those taxes, which are received within 60 days after the year-end. The City is a participant in the Teeter Plan under the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The County of Riverside has responsibility for the collection of delinquent taxes and the City receives 100% of the levy. ### K. Leases ## Lessee The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of buildings and equipment. The City recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset (lease asset) in the government-wide financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $10,000 or more. At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments. The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability. Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position. ## Lessor The City is a lessor for several noncancellable lease of a building. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government-wide and governmental fund financial statements. ===== PAGE 64 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term. Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts. The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable. ### L. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements The City is a subscriber for several noncancellable subscription of information technology services. The City recognizes a subscription liability and an intangible right-to-use subscription asset (subscription asset) in the government-wide financial statements. The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more. At the commencement of a subscription, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for subscription payments made at or before the subscription commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the subscription asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgments related to subscriptions include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) subscription payments. The City uses the interest rate charged by the vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the vendor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for subscriptions. The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription. Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments that the City is reasonably certain to exercise. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its subscriptions and will remeasure the subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability. Subscription assets are reported with other capital assets and subscription liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position. ===== PAGE 65 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ### M. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category: Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB. This amount is equal to employer contributions made after the measurement date of the net pension liability and net OPEB liability/(asset). Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB resulting from the difference in projected and actual earnings on investments of the pension plan and OPEB fiduciary net position. These amounts are amortized over five years. Deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB arising from a change in assumptions and differences between expected and actual experience. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions and OPEB through the plan. In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category: - Deferred amount on refunding. A deferred amount on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of the refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. Deferred inflows from unavailable revenue, which arises under a modified accrual basis of accounting is reported only in the governmental fund balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from the following sources: rent, investment income, grants, notes receivables collections and reimbursements. These amounts are unavailable and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. - Deferred inflows related to pensions and OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions and OPEB through the plan. Deferred inflows from OPEB resulting from changes in assumptions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with OPEB through the plan. Deferred inflows from lease related items for the amount of the lease receivable plus any lease payments related to future periods, less any lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of, the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term. ===== PAGE 66 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ### N. Compensated Absences The City recognizes a liability for compensated absences for leave time that (1) has been earned for services previously rendered by employees, (2) accumulates and is allowed to be carried over to subsequent years, and (3) is more likely than not to be used as time off or settled (for example paid in cash to the employee or payment to an employee flex spending account) during or upon separation from employment. Based on the criteria listed, two types of leave qualify for liability recognition for compensated absences – vacation and sick leave. The liability for compensated absences is reported as incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for compensated absences is recorded in the governmental funds only if the liability has matured because of employee resignations or retirements. The liability for compensated absences includes salary-related benefits, where applicable. ## Vacation The City's policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation benefits, which are eligible for payment at the employee's current pay rate upon separation from employment. ## Sick Leave The City's policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused sick leave. All sick leave lapses when employees leave the employee of the City and, upon separation from service, no monetary obligation exists. However, a liability for estimated value of sick leave that will be used by employees as time off is included in the liability for compensated absences. ### O. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the District's California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. GASB Statement No. 68 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used. Valuation Date June 30, 2023 Measurement Date June 30, 2024 Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 ### P. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and the OPEB expense have been determined by an independent actuary. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used: Valuation Date June 30, 2023 Measurement Date June 30, 2024 Measurement Period June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024 ===== PAGE 67 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ### Q. Fund Balance The fund balances reported on the fund statements now consist of the following categories - Nonspendable - This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. • Restricted - This classification includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers or through enabling legislation. • Committed - This classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City Council. The City considers the adoption of a resolution to institute a formal action of City Council for the purpose of establishing, modifying or rescinding committed fund balances. • Assigned - This classification includes amounts to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. This includes amounts that are assigned through adoption of a resolution by City Council. The Council may delegate the ability of an employee or committee to assign uses of specific funds, for specific purposes. Such delegation of authority occurred on September 27th, 2018 and will be in effect for future fiscal years. • Unassigned - This classification includes the residual balance for the government's general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification is used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or assigned. When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available, the City's policy is to apply restricted fund balance first. When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned or unassigned fund balances are available, the City's policy is to apply committed fund balance first, then assigned fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance. ### R. Net Position For government-wide reporting as well as in proprietary funds, the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is called net position. Net position is comprised of three components: net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted. • Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization and reduced by outstanding balances of bonds, notes, and other debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or related debt are included in this component of net position. Restricted net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Assets are reported as restricted when constraints are placed on asset use either by external parties or by law through constitutional provision or enabling legislation. • Unrestricted net position is the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that does not meet the definition of the two preceding categories. Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City's policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied. ===== PAGE 68 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ### S. Restricted Assets Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because they are maintained in separate trustee bank accounts and their use is limited to applicable bond covenants. In addition, funds have been restricted for future capital improvements by City resolution. ### T. New and Upcoming GASB Pronouncements Effective During Fiscal Year ## New Pronouncements The requirements of the following accounting standards are effective for the purpose of implementation, if applicable to the City, for the year ended June 30, 2025. The financial statements included herein apply the requirements and provisions of these statements, including necessary retroactive adjustments to financial statement classifications and presentations. The City is currently analyzing its accounting practices to determine the potential impact on the financial statements for the following GASB statements: ### GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by implementing a unified recognition and measurement model that will result in a liability for compensated absences that more appropriately reflects when a government incurs an obligation. Establishing the unified model will result in consistent application to any type of compensated absence and will eliminate potential comparability issues between governments that offer different types of leave. This Statement will also result in a more robust estimate of the amount of compensated absences that a government will pay or settle, which will enhance the relevance and reliability of information about the liability for compensated absences. See Note 18 for details on restatements related to this pronouncement. ### GASB Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by providing users of financial statements with essential information that currently is not often provided. The disclosures will provide users with timely information regarding certain concentrations or constraints and related events that have occurred or have begun to occur that make a government vulnerable to a substantial impact. As a result, users will have better information with which to understand and anticipate certain risks to a government's financial condition. Management has assessed the impact of this Statement on the City's financial statements and determined that it did not have a material impact. ## Upcoming Pronouncements ### GASB Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements The requirements of this Statement will improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government's accountability. The Statement requires that the information presented in MD&A be limited to the related topics discussed in five sections: (1) Overview of the Financial Statements, (2) Financial Summary, (3) Detailed Analyses, (4) Significant Capital Asset and Long-Term Financing Activity, and (5) Currently Known Facts, Decisions, or Conditions. ===== PAGE 69 ===== ## NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) This Statement describes unusual or infrequent items as transactions and other events that are either unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. Furthermore, governments are required to display the inflows and outflows related to each unusual or infrequent item separately as the last presented flow(s) of resources prior to the net change in resource flows in the government-wide, governmental fund, and proprietary fund statements of resource flows. This Statement also requires that the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position continue to distinguish between operating and nonoperating revenues and expenses. Operating revenues and expenses are defined as revenues and expenses other than nonoperating revenues and expenses. Nonoperating revenues and expenses are defined as (1) subsidies received and provided, (2) contributions to permanent and term endowments, (3) revenues and expenses related to financing, (4) resources from the disposal of capital assets and inventory, and (5) investment income and expenses. In addition to the subtotals currently required in a proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position, this Statement requires that a subtotal for operating income (loss) and noncapital subsidies be presented before reporting other nonoperating revenues and expenses. This Statement requires governments to present each major component unit separately in the reporting entity's statement of net position and statement of activities if it does not reduce the readability of the statements. If the readability of those statements would be reduced, combining statements of major component units should be presented after the fund financial statements. This Statement requires governments to present budgetary comparison information using a single method of communication—RSI. Governments also are required to present (1) variances between original and final budget amounts and (2) variances between final budget and actual amounts. An explanation of significant variances is required to be presented in notes to RSI. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting periods thereafter. ### GASB Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets The requirements of this statement will provide users of government financial statements with essential information about certain types of capital assets. This Statement requires certain types of capital assets to be disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosures required by Statement 34. Lease assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases, and intangible right-to-use assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, should be disclosed separately by major class of underlying asset in the capital assets note disclosures. Subscription assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements, also should be separately disclosed. In addition, this Statement requires intangible assets other than those three types to be disclosed separately by major class. This Statement also requires additional disclosures for capital assets held for sale. A capital asset is a capital asset held for sale if (a) the government has decided to pursue the sale of the capital asset and (b) it is probable that the sale will be finalized within one year of the financial statement date. This Statement requires that capital assets held for sale be evaluated each reporting period. Governments should disclose (1) the ending balance of capital assets held for sale, with separate disclosure for historical cost and accumulated depreciation by major class of asset, and (2) the carrying amount of debt for which the capital assets held for sale are pledged as collateral for each major class of asset. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting periods thereafter. ===== PAGE 70 ===== ## NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS As of June 30, 2025 cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows:

The City of Palm Desert maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use for all funds. Each fund type's position in the pool is reported on the combined balance sheet as cash and investments. The City has adopted an investment policy, which authorizes it to invest in various investments. ### A. Deposits At June 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the deposits was $13,573,175, and the bank balance was $6,357,188. The $7,215,987 difference represents outstanding checks, deposits in transit and other reconciling items. The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure an Entity's deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of an Entity's deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits that are fully insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The collateral for deposits in federal and state-chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking. The collateral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Depository. These securities are physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors. Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association with an Agent of Depository has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository are considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency. ===== PAGE 71 ===== ## NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) ### B.

* Based on state law requirements or City investment policy requirements, whichever is more restrictive. The City Treasurer is authorized under state and municipal law to invest in various types of securities that meet specified credit quality standards, based upon credit risk ratings assigned by Standard and Poors (S&P), Fitch, or by Moody's Investor Services (Moody's). Permissible City investments include medium-term notes that are rated "A" or higher at time of purchase; commercial paper that is rated "A-1" or the equivalent; money market mutual funds that are rated "AAA"; and United States Government and Federal Agency securities (the quality of United States Treasury securities is not analyzed since they are not deemed to have credit risk). Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required, when applicable, by the California Government Code, the City's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the rating by Standard and Poor's, Fitch and Moody's as of year-end for each investment type. ===== PAGE 72 ===== ## NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) ## Primary Government

## Custodial Credit Risk The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for the investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. As of June 30, 2025, none of the City's deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk. ## Concentration of Credit Risk The City's investment policy imposes restrictions on the percentage the City can invest in certain types of investments, which the City is in compliance. As of June 30, 2025, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 40, if the City has invested more than 10% of its total investments in any one issuer then they are exposed to concentration of credit risk. The City is not invested in any one issuer that is more than 10% of its total investments. ===== PAGE 73 ===== ## NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) ## Interest Rate Risk The City's investment policy limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The City's investment policy states that the City shall not invest in securities with maturities exceeding five years. The City has elected to use the segmented time distribution method of disclosure for its interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2025, the City had the following investments and maturities: ## Primary Government

## Investment in State Investment Pool The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. ===== PAGE 74 ===== ## NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) ## Investment in California Asset Management Program The California Asset Management Program (CAMP) is a public joint powers authority which provides California Public Agencies with investment management services for surplus funds and comprehensive investment management, accounting and arbitrage rebate calculation services for proceeds of tax-exempt financings. The CAMP currently offers the Cash Reserve Portfolio, a short-term investment portfolio, as a means for Public Agencies to invest these funds. Public Agencies that invest in the Pool (Participants) purchase shares of beneficial interest. Participants may also establish individual, professionally managed investment accounts (Individual Portfolios) by separate agreement with the Investment Advisor. Investments in the Pools and Individual Portfolios are made only in investments in which Public Agencies generally are permitted by California statute. The CAMP may reject any investment and may limit the size of a Participant's account. The Pool seeks to maintain, but does not guarantee, a constant net asset value of $1 per share. A Participant may withdraw funds from its Pool accounts at any time by check or wire transfers. Requests for same-day wire transfers must be made by 11:00 a.m. that day. Fair value of the Pool is determined by the fair value per share of the Pool's underlying portfolio. ## Investment in Riverside County Treasurer's Pooled Investment Fund The City is a voluntary participant in the Riverside County Treasurer's Pooled Investment Fund (Pooled Fund). The fair value of the City's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City's pro-rata share of the fair value that the Riverside County Treasurer's Office has provided for the entire Pooled Fund (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based upon the accounting records that the Riverside County Treasurer's Office maintains, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. ## Fair Value Measurements The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the relative inputs used to measure the fair value of the investments. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows: Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the City has the ability to access. Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include: Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; - Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; • Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset; • Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the City's own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the City's own data. ===== PAGE 75 ===== ## NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) The asset's level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The determination of what constitutes observable required judgment by the City's management. City management considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable, and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by multiple independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of the inputs to its fair value measurement and does not necessarily correspond to City management's perceived risk of that investment. The methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. When available, quoted prices are used to determine fair value. When quoted prices in active markets are available, investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are based on evaluated prices received by City's asset manager from third party service provider. The following is a description of the recurring valuation methods and assumptions used by the City to estimate the fair value of its investments. For a large portion of the City's portfolio, the City's custodian applies their leveling methodology across all securities in a specific sector (i.e. U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities). Inputs to their pricing models are based on observable market inputs in active markets. The Successor Agency Former RDA's investment in City bonds is not tradable and is categorized in Level 3. When valuing Level 3 securities, the inputs or methodology are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. ## Primary Government

## NOTE 3 - NOTES AND LOANS RECEIVABLE ### A. Notes Receivable On August 8, 2006, the City of Palm Desert issued $3,165,000 of Limited Obligation Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds were used to finance the construction of the utility undergrounding and pay the cost of issuance. The debt service on the bonds is to be paid by assessments secured on the property tax rolls of those properties benefiting from the improvements. Bond maturities began September 2, 2007, and continue annually through 2036. The interest rates of the bonds range from 3.85% to 5.15%. The City of Palm Desert is the only bondholder on record for the bonds and reports a receivable in the general fund that corresponds to the outstanding principal on the bonds. As of June 30, 2025, the receivable balance was $926,000. ### B. Loans Receivable The City entered into several individual loan agreements with residents of the Highlands Utility Underground Assessment District No. 04-01. The loans were issued by the City to pay off the principal of the respective properties assessment. In turn, the residents agreed to pay to the City the full cost of the loan amount plus any accrued interest at a rate of 5.35%. The full amount of the loan along with all accrued interest is due and payable at the earliest of September 2, 2036 or any change in ownership of the property. As of June 30, 2025, the total receivable from the Highlands Deferral Loan Program was $14,978. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code 34176(b), the housing assets of the former RDA have been transferred to the Housing Asset Fund as the successor housing entity. The Housing Asset Fund has a loan receivable for the construction of a multi-family affordable housing development dated June 14, 2001 due from the PD Hovley Limited Partnership. The loan is secured by a Deed of Trust and Regulatory Agreement with Options on the housing development located in Palm Desert. On April 8, 2021 the Authority Board approved the re-syndication, refinancing and rehabilitation of the affordable housing development. The existing 2001 loan was modified to extend its maturity for fifty-five (55) years and provides for a suspension of principal payments for the estimated construction period. The Authority Loan shall bear interest at the greater of the current applicable federal rate as of the date of the Promissory Note or one percent (1%) simple interest per annum, and will be repaid from seventy-five percent (75%) of the developments residual receipts remaining after payment of fees and expenses. As of June 30, 2025, the total receivable from PD Hovley Limited Partnership was $5,148,813. ===== PAGE 77 ===== ## NOTE 3 - NOTES AND LOANS RECEIVABLE (CONTINUED) The Housing Asset Fund has a loan receivable for the construction of a multi-family affordable housing development dated December 20, 2022, due from Palm Desert Pacific Associates, a California Limited Partnership. The Authority Loan shall bear interest at three percent (3%) simple interest per annum, and repayment will commence as follows: 50% of Project Net Cash Flow, as defined in the Loan Agreement shall be paid to PDHA on an annual basis on June 30th after the first anniversary of issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the project and each annual anniversary thereafter (with respect to the Project New Cash Flow for the preceding year ending on June 30th prior to each such payment date) until the Note has been satisfied in full. As of June 30, 2025, the total receivable from Palm Desert Pacific Associates was $6,030,000 and management has no reason to believe any allowance for doubtful accounts should be established for the loan. On August 28, 2008, the City Council approved through resolution the Energy Independence Program (EIP), which is supported by Assembly Bill AB811. The EIP program allowed the City to create the funding mechanism to assist the residents and businesses entering into a loan agreement with the City and providing the money for the borrowers to acquire and install energy efficient improvements. Assembly Bill AB811 allows the City to lien the properties through annual property tax assessments for a period not to exceed 20 years. To date, 279 residents and business owners entered into loan agreements with the City and have completed their improvements through the EIP program, as of June 30, 2025, 160 loans have been repaid. The loans are payable in two annual installments for a period of 5 years to 20 years at an interest rate of 7% annually. On June 30, 2025, the outstanding loans receivable through the EIP Program was $186,349. On November 1, 2024 The Palm Desert Housing Authority entered into a new loan agreement with A0358 Monterey L.P., a California limited partnership, in the amount of Seven Million Two Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($7,235,000) from the Authority's Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to fund the construction of One-Hundred Thirty Nine (139) of the One-Hundred Seventy Four (174) affordable housing units comprising the proposed apartment project, Crossings at Palm Desert Apartments. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code 34176(b), the housing assets of the former RDA have been transferred to the Palm Desert Housing Authority as the successor housing entity. The Housing Authority has loans for several other projects, all of which are secured by a deed of trust. An allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the loan balance has been recognized since there is a significant possibility that these loans will either become uncollectible or forgiven by the Housing Authority at a future date if all the terms of the loans have been met. On June 13, 2024, the City Council approved through a resolution of the Palm Desert Housing Authority a Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement (DDLA) with Chelsea Investments Corporation in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) from the Authority's Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund, and have a term of Fifty-Five (55) years from the date of the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. The Authority Loan shall bear interest at three percent (3%) simple interest per annum, and principal will be repaid from a proportional share of the Projects residual receipts. The Authority Loan will be due and payable at the end of the loan term and will be used to fund the construction of Thirty-Nine (39) multi-family affordable housing units comprising the proposed apartment project, Arc Village Apartments. ===== PAGE 78 ===== ## NOTE 3 - NOTES AND LOANS RECEIVABLE (CONTINUED) Detailed information for these loans is as follows:

The proceeds of the Bonds were used to finance the construction of the utility undergrounding and pay the cost of issuance. The debt service on the bonds is to be paid by assessments secured on the property tax rolls of those properties benefiting from the improvements. In the event that assessment collections are insufficient to pay the debt service, the City has a potential obligation to provide additional funds to pay the debt service, therefore these bonds are reported as special assessment debt with government commitment. Bond maturities begin September 2, 2007, and continue annually through 2036. The interest rates of the bonds range from 3.85% to 5.15%. The City of Palm Desert is the only bondholder on record of the bonds and the City does not own the constructed assets. ===== PAGE 83 ===== ## NOTE 6 - LONG-TERM LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) The future debt service requirements on the Highlands Undergrounding Assessment District No. 04-01, Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2006 are as follows:

Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Power Agreement The City of Palm Desert is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority). The Authority is composed of 126 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine-member Executive Committee. ### B. Primary Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. The total funding requirement for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool. ### C. Primary Liability Program Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers. The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence. Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the coverage structure is available on the Authority's website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/. ===== PAGE 89 ===== # NOTE 10 - RISK MANAGEMENT AND CLAIMS PAYABLE (CONTINUED) ### D. Primary Workers' Compensation Program Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $75,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $75,000 to $200,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $200,000 to statutory limits are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers. For 2025 the Authority’s pooled retention is $1 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits under California Workers’ Compensation Law. Employer’s Liability losses are pooled among members to $1 million. Coverage from $1 million to $5 million is purchased through reinsurance policies, and Employer’s Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members. ### E. Pollution Legal Liability Insurance The City of Palm Desert participates in the pollution legal liability insurance program which is available through the Authority. The policy covers sudden and gradual pollution of scheduled property, streets, and storm drains owned by the City of Palm Desert. Coverage is on a claims-made basis. There is a $250,000 deductible. The Authority has an aggregate limit of $20 million. ### F. Property Insurance The City of Palm Desert participates in the all-risk property protection program of the Authority. This insurance protection is underwritten by several insurance companies. City of Palm Desert property is currently insured according to a schedule of covered property submitted by the City of Palm Desert to the Authority. City of Palm Desert property currently has all-risk property insurance protection in the amount of $397,495,666. There is a $10,000 deductible per occurrence except for non-emergency vehicle insurance which has a $2,500 deductible. ### G. Crime Insurance The City of Palm Desert purchases crime insurance coverage in the amount of $10,000,000 with a $2,500 deductible. The fidelity coverage is provided through the Authority. ### H. Special Event Tenant User Liability Insurance The City or Palm Desert further protects against liability damages by requiring tenant users of certain property to purchase low-cost tenant user liability insurance for certain activities on agency property. The insurance premium is paid by the tenant user and is paid to the City of Palm Desert according to a schedule. The City of Palm Desert then pays for the insurance. The insurance is facilitated by the Authority. ### I. Adequacy of Protection During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage in the fiscal year 2024-25. ### J. Claims Payable Estimates for all workers' compensation and general liabilities up to the self-insured levels have been recorded as long-term liabilities. ===== PAGE 90 ===== ## NOTE 10 - RISK MANAGEMENT AND CLAIMS PAYABLE (CONTINUED) Changes in claims liabilities during the past two years are as follows:

## NOTE 11 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. Pursuant to changes in August 1996, of IRC Section 457, in January 1997, the City established a trust in which all assets held by Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. (NRS) and ICMA Retirement Corporation (ICMA) were placed. In June 2024, the City transitioned all 457 accounts from Nationwide and ICMA to Empower. The City does not have fiduciary responsibility for the plan assets held by NRS, ICMA, or Empower. The assets, all property and rights purchased with such amounts and all income attributable to such amounts are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and the beneficiaries. The assets are no longer the property of the City, and as such, are no longer subject to the claims of the City's general creditors. As a result, the assets of the 457 plan in the amount of $15,873,542 held by NRS, ICMA, and Empower of the 457 Plan are not reflected in the City's financial statements. ===== PAGE 91 ===== ## NOTE 12 - PENSION PLAN ### A. General Information about the Pension Plan: ## Plan Description All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City's Miscellaneous Plan, agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers. Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website. ## Benefits Provided CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for the plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees' Retirement Law. The Plan's provisions and benefits in effect at measurement date, are summarized as follows:

Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits196
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits97
Active employees128
Total421
## Contributions Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. ### B. Net Pension Liability The City's net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan's fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023, as of June 30, 2024, and as of June 30, 2024, using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below. ## Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2024 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Valuation dateJune 30, 2023
Measurement dateJune 30, 2024
Actuarial cost methodEntry age normal
Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate6.90%
Inflation2.30%
Payroll Growth2.80%
Projected Salary IncreaseVaries by Entry Age and Service
Investment Rate of Return6.8% Net of Pension Plan Investment and Administrative Expenses; includes Inflation
Mortality rate table*Derived using CalPERS' membership data for all funds
===== PAGE 93 ===== ## NOTE 12 - PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED) ## Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90% for the Plan. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for the plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing of the Plans, the tests revealed the assets would not run out. Therefore, the current 6.80% discount rate is appropriate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 6.80% is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report” that can be obtained from the CalPERS website under the GASB 68 section. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds' asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent. The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. The target allocation shown was adopted by the CalPERS Board effective on July 1, 2014.

===== PAGE 107 ===== ## NOTE 17 - SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISCLOSURES ## Dissolution of Redevelopment Agency Pursuant to AB X1 26 (adopted by the California Legislature in June 2011) and the State Supreme Court's decision in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 4th 231 (2011), all redevelopment agencies in the State were dissolved as of February 1, 2012. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-76 on August 25, 2011, pursuant to Health and Safety Code ("HSC") Section 34172, electing for the City to serve as the Successor Agency ("SARDA") to the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (the "Dissolved RDA"). SARDA is tasked with the wind-down of the Dissolved RDA's affairs. Certain SARDA actions must first be approved by an oversight board, composed of seven-members representing taxing entities. HSC Section 34173(g) expressly provides that SARDA is a separate public entity from the City, and the liabilities and assets of the Dissolved RDA shall not be transferred to the City. Pursuant to HSC Section 34176, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-07, on February 9, 2012, electing to have the Palm Desert Housing Authority to serve as the Housing Successor. The Housing Authority (as the Housing Successor) submitted to the State Department of Finance ("DOF") a list of housing assets to be transferred by SARDA to the Housing Successor. On August 31, 2012, the DOF issued a letter indicating that the DOF had no objection to such housing asset list. The housing assets (per the housing asset list), obligations, and activities of the Dissolved RDA were transferred to the Housing Successor and are reported in the Housing Asset Fund beginning in fiscal year 2011-12. However, outstanding bonds ("Housing Bonds"), secured by a pledge of moneys which would have been deposited into the Dissolved RDA's low and moderate income housing fund (known as the "Housing Set Aside"), remain as the SARDA's enforceable obligations. See also "Stipulated Judgment" below. All other assets, obligations, and activities of the Dissolved RDA have been transferred and are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City. The County Auditor-Controller ("CAC") has established a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (the "RPTTF") for SARDA and is charged with depositing into the RPTTF the amount of property taxes that would have been redevelopment property tax increment had the Dissolved RDA not been dissolved. SARDA is required to prepare an annual recognized obligation payment schedule (the "ROPS") setting forth the amounts due for enforceable obligations from each July 1 through the following June 30. The CAC only makes payments to the SARDA from the RPTTF based on the ROPS amounts approved by the oversight board and the DOF. During fiscal year 2012-13, SARDA was required to conduct due diligence reviews of the low and moderate income housing fund and all other funds to compute the funds (cash) which were not needed to be retained to pay existing enforceable obligations or otherwise unrestricted, and therefore, must be remitted to the CAC. SARDA paid a total amount of $40,988,399 to the CAC based on the due diligence reviews per the DOF's determination. The DOF issued a Finding of Completion on May 15, 2013 after SARDA remitted such payments. The Finding of Completion allows the placement of certain loans (“Advances”) made by the City to the Dissolved RDA (which were previously voided by operation of law upon the Dissolved RDA’s dissolution) on the ROPS. For each approved repayment 20% of the repayment amount must be allocated to the Housing Asset Fund. The repayment of the Advances, pursuant to the oversight board’s and the DOF’s approval, began during fiscal year 2019-20. During fiscal year 2024-25, the City received a final determination from the California Department of Finance that these advances would not be deemed an enforceable obligation. There is no financial statement impact as these balances were offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts in previous years. The California State Controller was directed to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between the Dissolved RDA and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. The State Controller completed its review on March 14, 2013 and did not identify any unallowable transfers of assets that occurred between the Dissolved RDA and the City or other public agencies. ===== PAGE 108 ===== ## NOTE 17 - SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED) SARDA's use and disposition of all real properties held (Long Range Property Management Plan ("LRPMP"), was approved by the DOF on June 2, 2014. The LRPMP allowed the SARDA to transfer property used for government purposes with a cost basis of $6,390,263 to the City. ## Stipulated Judgment On May 15, 1991, the Riverside County Superior Court entered a final judgment incorporating the terms of a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment ("Original Stipulation") in Case No. 51124 and a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment pursuant to Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release ("Settlement Agreement") in Case No. 51124, among the Dissolved RDA, the City, the Western Center on Law and Poverty, Inc., California Rural Legal Assistance, and others. On June 18, 1997 and on September 20, 2002, the Riverside County Superior Court amended the judgment, incorporating Stipulations Amending Stipulation for Entry of Judgment. The judgment, as amended (the “Judgment”), generally required the Dissolved RDA to use 20% of its tax increment revenues, and additional tax increment revenues if necessary, to develop, rehabilitate, or otherwise financially assist affordable housing units and to meet certain housing needs of the City. Before dissolution, the Dissolved RDA used its Housing Set-Aside to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (including the payment of debt service on the Housing Bonds issued to finance and refinance affordable housing projects that satisfied the requirements of both the Judgment and the relevant Redevelopment Law provisions). While the low and moderate income housing fund and the requirement to deposit the Housing Set-Aside into such fund have been eliminated upon the Dissolved RDA’s dissolution, SARDA continues to recognize the Judgment as its enforceable obligation. On its ROPS, the SARDA has included line items designated as “Stipulation Judgment Case No. 51124,” listing the amounts necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (after taking into account the amounts already listed for the repayment of the Housing Bonds). While the DOF originally approved such line items, the DOF changed its position beginning with ROPS 14-15A (i.e., covering the period commencing July 1, 2014). On August 14, 2014, SARDA filed an action, SARDA to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency v. Michael Cohen, Sacramento Superior Court Case No. 34-2014-00167698 (the “Successor Agency Lawsuit”), seeking to compel the DOF to permit payment of the affordable housing obligations mandated by the Judgment. Subsequently, in view of the fact that there were similar cases pending in the California Court of Appeal (Third District), the SARDA voluntarily dismissed its action without prejudice pending resolution of those other cases. To date, none of the other cases has resulted in a decision that would compel the DOF to permit payment of the obligations under the Judgment as an enforceable obligation. The assets and liabilities of the Dissolved RDA (except for those transferred to the Housing Successor and reported in the Housing Asset Fund) have been transferred to the SARDA. The SARDA is acting in a fiduciary capacity for the assets and liabilities. Disclosures related to these transactions are as follows: ## Capital Assets

The tax allocation revenues bonds issued before 2011 (i.e., before the dissolution of the Dissolved RDA) were issued by the Palm Desert Financing Authority, the proceeds of which were loaned to the Dissolved RDA for financing or refinancing redevelopment projects. Pursuant to the bond documents, the Authority's bonds were secured by the Dissolved RDA's (and after dissolution, are secured by the Successor Agency's) repayment of the loans were secured by tax increment (after the Dissolved RDA's dissolution, are secured by certain moneys deposited in the RPTTF, see Notes 19) and other funds as provided in the bond documents. In January 2017, the Successor Agency issued four series of bonds: (i) the Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series A, in the aggregate principal amount of $52,390,000 (the “2017A Bonds”), (ii) the Taxable Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series B, in the aggregate principal amount of $140,130,000 (the “2017B Bonds”), (iii) the Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series H-A, in the aggregate principal amount of $7,365,000 (the “2017H-A Bonds”); and (iv) the Taxable Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series H-B, in the aggregate principal amount of $45,815,000 (the “2017H-B Bonds”). As further described below, the 2017 refunding refunded all of the outstanding tax allocation revenue bonds, except for the Project Area No. 2 2003 Bonds. None of these bonds or any interest thereon are a debt of the City, the State of California or any of its political subdivisions (except for the Successor Agency), and none the City, the State of California nor any of its political subdivisions (except for the Successor Agency) is liable on the bonds, nor in any event shall the bonds and interest therein be payable out of any funds or properties other than those provided under the respective bond documents. The remaining outstanding Project Area No. 2 2003 Bonds were insured by MBIA Insurance Corporation ("MBIA").

## Notes to Schedule of Changes in the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios: Benefit Changes: The figures above generally include any liability impact that may have resulted from voluntary benefit changes that occurred on or before the measurement date. However, offers of Two Years Additional Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes) that occurred after the valuation date are not included in the figures above, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material by the plan actuary. Changes of Assumptions: There were no assumption changes in 2023 or 2024. Effective with the June 30, 2021, valuation date (June 30, 2022, measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. In addition, demographic assumptions and the price inflation assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates June 30, 2017, through June 30, 2021, and 7.65% for measurement dates June 30, 2015, through June 30, 2016. ===== PAGE 115 =====

Before the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed budget for the year commencing the following July 1. 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3. The budget is subsequently adopted through passage of a resolution. 4. Expenditures for the General Fund cannot exceed amounts budgeted at the departmental level, which is the legal level of control. For other funds, expenditures cannot exceed the total amount budgeted for each fund, which is the legal level of control. The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations (without council approval) between an object of a General Fund Department and authority to adjust intra-and outer departmental budgeted line items, as well as inter-fund transfers, provided such adjustments do not exceed the total approved budget. The City Council approves all other changes. Annual appropriation amounts lapse at year-end. 5. Encumbrances and continuing appropriations are rebudgeted as of July 1, by Council action. 6. Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for all governmental funds except for certain special revenue funds and capital projects funds, which adopt project length budgets and debt service funds that are not budgeted as effective budgetary control is achieved through debt indenture provisions.

(1) Estimated Actual Taxable Value = Net Taxable Value* Per HDL there was an artifact change in the Riverside County Assessors data that occurred primarily between 2018 and 2019, new vs old system differences, the few properties which are listed as having assessed value and being non-taxable are either new to the roll or are newly non-taxable for 2019. Notes: Property Taxes in Riverside County are subject to the State of California's Proposition 13, Jarvis-Gann Initiative which allows reappraisals of real property only when there is a change in ownership or new construction takes place. Further, the proposition limits property assessment increase to no more than two(2%) percent annually. Property is assessed at one hundred percent (100%) of its fair market value at the time of new construction or change in ownership. The tax rate is one (1%) percent of the assessed value. ===== PAGE 208 =====
